Obviously they don't, since the IETF did not used to display it (very 
often.)

Not prior to the Kobe blowup they weren't.  I'm not saying they /were/ 
set up that way later; I'm saying they weren't for the period I was 
referencing.

There was a vigorous and even healthy debate underway and I was finding 
myself impressed that CLNP seemed to be holding up quite well in my 
personal assessment of points on technical merit.

With Kobe, the IAB prematurely terminated the community debate.  The 
community then exercised the tend-available form of appeal against the 
IAB...
